The Exmoor Camera Club is a friendly social film and digital photography club, which includes D-SLR video, which is based in the heart of one of the UK’s most undiscovered National Parks by photographers.

Unlike some other camera clubs we focus on taking images together and improving our photography, not just showing them off.
Each week of the year we hold members photography events on and around Exmoor, where members learn in a social friendly manner how to improve on their photography.

All our events are social and fun, meeting up in Wheddon Cross, Dunster or Lynmouth, on our return we share our images, knowledge and experiences of the event over refreshments.

Please DON'T Drink and Drive.
